Inovonics and Teton announced on October 14 that Teton's E-Call software now runs on Inovonics' 900 MHz EchoStream wireless network. Communities that already have Inovonics pendants and infrastructure installed can keep that hardware and connect it to Teton's platform. The pairing is available now for assisted living, memory care and independent living communities.
The pitch is context. Teton's ambient sensors interpret each resident's position, movement and sleep, so when a call button is pressed caregivers can see whether the resident is resting, up and unsteady, or already on the floor before they reach the room. Calls land in the same Teton app staff use for fall alerts and digital checks, and managers get a record of how each call was answered by shift and by community. Inovonics points out that its network runs separately from building Wi-Fi, reaches through concrete and across campuses, and was the first platform certified under UL 2560, the safety standard written for emergency call systems in assisted and independent living.
Modern emergency call systems for assisted living are moving from a simple button alert to a full picture of what is happening in the room. That helps teams prioritize, cut response times and spot residents who need proactive care. It also shows that upgrading a senior living nurse call system does not always mean ripping out working hardware.
